Marishiten — Polychrome is a compact, vividly finished figure carved in tsuge (boxwood), with crisp detailing and carefully applied color that brings out the dynamism of the form.
This piece presents Marishiten (Marici) in a later, more complex iconographic style—multiple faces and arms arranged to suggest force and awareness extending in all directions—finished with a bright polychrome surface over refined carving.
About this piece
Carved from tsuge boxwood and finished in polychrome, this statue is made through fine wood carving followed by hand-applied coloration to define the features, ornaments, and layered elements of the figure. The model follows established Japanese Marishiten imagery that developed from earlier two-armed depictions into multi-faced, multi-armed forms used in temple and shrine settings, where such works were commissioned and produced within workshop traditions to provide a clear, recognizable icon for enshrinement.
Cultural note
In Japan, Marishiten (Marici) is understood as a protective figure associated with light, clarity, and steadfast courage, and has been especially venerated in contexts connected to martial discipline and resolve. Images like this are treated as devotional icons: approached with a calm, respectful mindset, placed neatly in a clean area, and handled with care—ideally with clean hands and without placing the figure directly on the floor. Many people keep such images slightly elevated and oriented intentionally, as a way of acknowledging the presence the icon represents rather than treating it as ordinary décor.
